Unit III (1a)

Controls arousal

• Reticular Formation
• Thalamus
• Amygdala
• Medulla

Controls heartbeat and breathing

• Pons
• Medulla
• Cerebellum
• Thalamus

Known as the "Little Brain" and is in charge of balance and coordinating movements

• Thalamus
• Reticular Formation
• Hypothalamus
• Cerebellum

Puts explicit memories into long-term storage

• Hypothalamus
• Hippocampus
• Amygdala
• Thalamus

Part of the brain that makes decisions, plans, reasons, and carries out behaviors

• Frontal Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Occipital Lobe
• Temporal Lobe

Speech that is jumbled and not coherent is a sign of:

• Wernicke's Aphasia
• a split brain operation
• Broca's aphasia
• sensory aphasia

Surgical destruction of brain tissue is called a(n)

• synapse
• endorphin
• lesion
• EEG

When asked to describe a picture that showed two boys stealing cookies behind a woman's back, a patient replied, “Mother is away her working her work to get her better, but when she's looking the two boys looking the other part.” Which brain region has most likely been damaged?

• Broca's area
• angular gyrus
• Wernicke's area
• parietal lobes

In 1861, Paul Broca studied a stroke patient he called “Tan.” He was called this because as a result of brain damage it was the only word he could pronounce. Based on Broca's early work, which of the following brain regions is involved in speech production?

• angular gyrus
• sensory cortex
• left frontal lobe
• auditory cortex

If Professor Kosiba lesions the amygdala of a laboratory rat, the rat will most likely become

• less aggressive
• hungry.
• sexually aroused.
• physically uncoordinated.
